Uncle Ben, do you let the girl recover from topping before putting her into flower?

Uncle Ben, How long do you wait after topping before flipping into flower? Great Thread and Great Technique Uncle Ben! Thank You for Sharing!

GREAT .txt file. Thank you for your work. I've concerted it to a .xls spreadsheet so I can add my recipe and compare. Dyna-Gro is GREAT product, not too many people know about it.

Not really. I've temporarily put this project on hold. I realized I was missing some critical parts. I probably should build it first as intended before I try to recreate the wheel....

That's a great suggestion... I also have an idea I will be working on today. I redesigned my layout board for ease of use. I'll post more photos soon.

Kitty You seem to know quite a bit. Thank you for the advice. I'm looking into this now and I'm sure there'is an answer once I better understand the process. Thank you for pointing this out. I have to adjust my wiring to accomplish this. From what I understand you remove a pin from the...

Several Company's and DIY Posts have all developed their controller with 1 timer. It must not be a problem. Hopefully others will pop in and help us with these questions. My understanding is there's always water in the controller to accommodate both pumps running at the same time. When I...

More to come ! I'm off to rebuild the real thing !

I've never been a big fan of dial timers and have had better luck with digital timers. I wanted to hard wire my controller and rely on another digital timer for more accurate timing. I also used 2 relay sockets for easier wiring of the relays. In this picture it looks like a mess, but it...

I started my project with a shoe box to layout the floats and better understand the wiring.... It looks harder than what it really is. I hope to simplify it and offer some instructions of what I've done. As you can see from the front it looks like the inside of any controller, but wait...

I've been doing a lot of research on the different Multi Flow Controllers available through different DIY posts. I've come up with a hybrid of several different systems that suites my situation best. I've enjoyed this learning curve; it's helped me better understand the entire system...

Mr. FreakONature - I hear your frustrations. It's to hard decide what's right when you have two opposite opinions.... I do one of two things. A. Run a test myself so, I know what works best for me in my environment with my nutrients. Soo many variables to consider B. I turn to one of the...

There's a company called HM Digital that make a really good affordable PH and PPM meters. Look for the PH-200. Many different online and ebay stores carry them. Personally I've given up on the frustration of constantly calibrating your PH equipment. I've used two different PH meters and they...

Bud or pre-flowers ??? Are you foliar feeding or misting? I've heard roots grow when the lights are out. I would continue to mist water only and cut your light schedule down to 18/6. I've had problems before with different stains not wanting to root. Personally it was a purple kush...

You mentioned the temperature inside is 115, but how is it outside? If you run a high enough CFM to exchange the air every 60 sec. then you can cool the inside to the same temp. as outside.
